1 Samuel 2:28-30

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁸ ‘And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My Priest, to offer upon My Altar, and to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And I gave to the House of your father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel.

²⁹ ‘Why have you kicked against My Sacrifice and My Offering which I Commanded in My Tabernacle, and honor your children above Me, to make yourselves fat from the firstfruits of all the Offerings of Israel My people?’

³⁰ “Therefore the LORD God of Israel says: ‘I said that your House, and the House of your father, should walk before Me, forever.’ But now, the LORD says: ‘It shall not be so. For those who honor Me, I will honor. And those who despise Me, shall be despised.
